Drink Driving law

Many drink driving offences require the accused to appear in court and carry the possibility of a sentence
of incarceration. That is particularly true for repeat offences, for offences that resulted in an
accident, and for offences that involved a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.15 or higher.

OUR STORY

Exclusive Family and Criminal law directories - EST 2005

I started Australia's most successful online legal websites, Aussie Divorce and Criminal Lawyers Directory,
from a unique position. I first developed the Aussie Divorce system in 2005 to be the champion of
consumers facing family law matters, and in 2011 I decided to expand my services with websites that
cater to Criminal and Drink Driving law. After experiencing the legal system as a client and
then seeing it first-hand from the lawyers' perspective, I have invested almost a decade learning
how the legal system works. I have attended hundreds of days of court hearings, had countless formal
meetings with lawyers and have spoken to hundreds more across the country. Providing Answers for
Consumers - Providing Marketing Solutions for Legal Practitioners.

I have gained a rare skill,
which is understanding exactly how the legal consumer and the legal practitioner thinks. In my quest
to create a single solution that answers the consumer's every need, I created sites that have revolutionised
how consumers interact with lawyers online with a powerful suite of unique tools and resources.
